After 55 years of playing I’ve found that I’m going to wind up sounding like me no matter what horn, reed or mouthpiece combo. So in my later years it’s all about comfort.

[@jojopt2]

I agree, Scott. This horn plays like an extension of me. Very comfortable and easy.

[@ichbinmartin]

The same after 3 years.

[@navymusician822]

I love how excited your girls are about the packing peanuts :D Congrats on the horn!

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for watching! I let them play with the peanuts for a while!

[@tltate]

Very informative video. Nice to see Texans are still making great music. I grew up in the Houston area (Baytown). I have been on a journey to regain my skills. I gave it up for several years. Now I'm just trying to enjoy myself.

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for watching and listening! I’m happy to hear you are playing again and enjoying it!

[@bobblues1158]

Beautiful! Sounds great. And the stars of the show are your daughters!

[@jojopt2]

Hi Bob - Thanks for watching! One month with the horn and I'm loving it!

[@abpmd]

I got mine. Played it almost sent it back but the more I play the more it raps around my sound. Now I love it.

[@jojopt2]

Hi Alfred! Thanks for commenting! I'm about to drop a one year follow up to this video. Stay tuned for it.

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Dude very nice! Congrats, you sound great!

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like the video. I have a streaming concert tomorrow night on TH-cam. You can find it at Monks Jazz with this link. th-cam.com/video/i08109yCQCA/w-d-xo.html

[@SeanLeonDrumz]

You sound great brotha!

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for listening and supporting!!

[@leycroftcoman5487]

Very impressive sound my Series 2 tenor had a sharp front E but im now on a Yts 62 111 and front E is fine .

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for watching! Glad the YTS is working for you! I dig those horns as well.

[@selmer1971]

Love my 62 also as well

[@Learning2Sax]

I wish we had them in the Europe

[@davidolahmusic]

Thank you for nice review. I would be interested about your opinion on nexus mouthpiece and reeds.

[@jojopt2]

Thanks for watching! I am considering more reviews on different types of gear. I'll let you know if I get that going.

[@cameronlaplante3773]

I love the Nexus reeds, playing them on alto and tenor now

[@selmer1971]

I noticed the left hand pinky stack isn’t articulated.

[@robertopettinato7243]

white t shirt and white mouthpiece?! what is this? the new Vitiligo sax for dummies

[@obadee2000]

What mouthpiece is this white -SYOS or Nexus ?

[@jojopt2]

In this unboxing video I’m playing a custom SYOS. I recently switched to the Nexus Edge tenor piece. You can see my review of it here.

Thanks for listening!

[@resinten]

It’s been several months since this video. How has it held up? Still like it? Got my bari last summer and looking at a new tenor and I’ve been eyeing this one intently

[@jojopt2]

The horn still feels great! I love the sound and feel. It's super even in all the registers. Everything I was looking for. Thanks for watching and commenting! I think you just gave me an idea to make a follow up video! :)

[@Osnosis]

Snow angels with peanuts…genius.

[@kennethvalentine4907]

Did it come with a nexus mouthpiece?

[@jojopt2]

It did not come with a mouthpiece or any other accessories.

[@raulriveros3994]

Joseph, are nexus saxophones made in the usa or are they made in another country and assembled and tested in the usa?

[@jojopt2]

Hi Raul- check out this video of Jack Tyler from Boston Sax Shop re-assembling the horn before it is sold and shipped out. Chad LB play tests each horn. I can say that after going on three weeks with this horn I am completely blown away by how easy and fun it is to play.

[@todayontheinternet9576]

@@jojopt2 I hope the horn works out, but that video is suspect as hell, the things they talk about 'making a horn lighter than a mk IV...wut?' nonsensical sales lingo bs.

[@johnfilardi]

Can you request bubble wrap instead of that mess

[@jojopt2]

I bet you could ask if you order one. I didn’t ask about that.

[@simonsimon5124]

What tenor did you have before Nexus ?

[@jojopt2]

I played a MacSax Artist series tenor. They stopped making horns to focus on mouthpieces. It’s a solid horn though and I still love playing their alto.

[@Julialady6]

Wow this sax sound like Chad xd

[@Julialady6]

Is a joke but it's true too man, congratulations to all

[@glaucotancri1047]

Change mouthpiece!!!!

[@keithcampbell6806]

Good morning a review is useless if you don't tell us the price

[@jojopt2]

I paid the introductory price of $4300. It is now listed at $5129 on the Nexus website.
